14 Moorhaven Gazette Autumn 2007 www.moorhaven.org.uk MOORHAVEN VILLAGE WEB SITE GETS NEW LOOK The Moorhaven Village web site has been given a facelift with a number of important new facilities that allow users to update information on the web site directly. The new message board is for Moorhaven residents and those closely associated with the village. It allows you to have your say on any subject of interest to residents, including announcements, suggestions, comments or requests for information. The message board is easy to use. It does not require user names or passwords and you can instantly get your messages out to a wide audience. Hopefully it will become a forum where residents can exchange information and opinions about all aspects of village life. The rules for using the message board are: You must give your name and either address or email address. Only your name is published with your message. Your message must not be obscene or of a personal or abusive nature. Constructive criticisms are welcome. Messages are monitored and if any are thought to be unsuitable they will be removed. Hopefully it will not be necessary to introduce a complicated user name/password system. There is also a separate page for small ads. which allow you to get your ad out with a minimum of fuss at no charge. Most of the content of the web site is now available for direct update by the clubs or organisations that are represented. There are separate pages for direct input by the book club, film club, Management Company etc. This means that the content of the web site is no longer edited and controlled by a single person, but can reflect the opinions of all the residents. If you would like to own your own page for your club or area of interest, from breeding budgies to bungee jumping from the tower, please let me know and I will set it up for you. So go to www.moorhaven.org.uk, hit message board and let’s hear from you! David Roe

Moorhaven Book Club

The Book Club is open to all village residents. Members take turn to host the Club in their own house and the host chooses the book. We had a successful September meeting at John Meehan’s house. The book he had chosen was a science fiction book published in the 1960’s, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K Dick. This was the Book Club’s first foray into the genre of Science Fiction and there was a lively debate around the merits of the book and its themes of the place of religion in society and what it is to be human. Overall, the book got the thumbs up from the group and I certainly enjoyed reading it, rekindling my childhood liking for science fiction.
